So your looking at making a map? Well heres a few tips that will make your builds faster, better and greater than ever!! <feel free to add your own hints to make this a helpfull post to new builders!>
Some things you will need to make it more enjoyable would be to have your own multiplayer server with craftbukkit, with McEdit and VoxelSniper5, AND have a group of friends who you are willing to spend hours on end with who are fun to be with!!
It's some good advice. A little bit in addition, to record coords for all of your chests and traps, the Bukkit plugin Essentials has a /setwarp command. Whenever you make a trap or place a chest, stand on it and say /setwarp (whatever you want the warp to be called). Then to get the coords, look in the essentials plugin folder and it will have a file named warps, this will have all of the warps you set named and have the coords.
I recommend finding a good seed, or build it up yourself from flatland, and first off deciding if youd like to make a 24 or a 48 person map, then basing your map size, trap amount and puzzles and try making parkour!!
Spliting your map into 4 quarters and setting an amount of traps, puzzles and monuments per quarter so you can focus on yours and get help later (I reccommend building with 4-6 people so 1-2 peoplecan be there helping with big builds!
Having friends to critisize your work helps aswell, i remember building the shittest bridge outta diamond on my jungle map thinking it looked cool at the time... Lucky i had biff around! Lol
Another point. Write down all your coordinates from the beginning, learn to use a compass (left click takes you to the top block of the stack you click on and right clicking takes you to through the block) and ALWAYS, ALWAYS build on Default Texture pack!
//hsphere glass <radius> makes the dome
I hope this had helped! Comment if you want to add anything, as i will be adding on with every thought poping into my head and adding your hints aswell
